Essequibo Coast man jailed for damage to property, simple larceny
Mohan Lall of Windsor Castle, Essequibo Coast has been sentenced to 36 months’ imprisonment by Suddie Magistrate Tamieka Clarke on Wednesday after he was found guilty of malicious damage to property and simple larceny committed on August 16, 2024 against Jim Kanhai of Devonshire Castle, Essequibo Coast.
The 42-year-old Lall has been found guilty of causing damage to Kanhai’s property and stealing items from Kanhai’s possession under sections 164 and 160 of the Criminal Law Offenses Act.

Lall also faced a charge of attempting to commit murder, under section 103 ‘C’ of the Criminal Law Offenses Act. After witnesses testified, Lall failed to present a defence, and the court has committed him to stand trial for attempted murder at the next session of the Essequibo Criminal Assizes at the Supreme Court in Suddie.
Lall is thus awaiting trial for the attempted murder charge.
